    This is not enjoyable at all. There's no visual way to track the beat meaning you have to play the anoying sound on full volume and carfully listen to everything, and the sound's pretty annoying. Tapping feels unresponsive on a lot of the minigames and nearly all of them have lame themes.

    This game is a pretty fun game for the DS, but it has two issues, that being the controls and the remixes. The controls are quite annoying as the flicking, sliding, and tapping is quite annoying compared to a and b controls. The remixes have an issue of being really bland, the only memorable ones usually being (sometimes) remix 7, remix 8, and remix 10. Most of the remix sons just aren'tThis game is a pretty fun game for the DS, but it has two issues, that being the controls and the remixes.

All in all, fun game, annoying controls and meh remixes Expand

  1. Although the game is reminiscent of WarioWare in terms of playability and content, Rhythm Heaven’s simplicity is the key to success and without trying to be too clever, Nintendo have once again redefined enjoyable gaming for the masses.

    Rhythm Paradise has quirky sense of style, catchy tunes and it pushes you to try harder to master the minigames. Sometimes it’s hard to know what you are doing wrong though. [June 2009]

    It's definitely worth a look if you're the type who keeps their DS for long plane, train or automobile journeys, and I've no doubt that Beyonce's relaxed endorsement of the product will see it enjoy some success.
